Preparing the skin for makeup application

Before you start shading, you need to apply cosmetics to your face. This is done in a certain sequence.

The first and most important thing is to prepare your face for makeup. On unprepared skin, any foundation will attract particles of shadow, powder or dry contouring, and all efforts to blend will be unsuccessful.

If you don’t apply foundation and apply all cosmetic products directly to the skin, then shading won’t work either. The fact is that there is always a fatty lubricant on the skin, to which powder, blush and dry facial contouring products are sure to stick. The result is that the shadows and powder will not fall in an even layer, but in spots.

Preparing your face for makeup consists of the following steps:

Lamp shade

Paper lampshades for lamps continue the theme of designer origami. Despite their simplicity and budget, they look unusual, and therefore managed to gain many fans. At first glance, it seems that this origami from A4 sheet is not for beginners, but for a spectacular result you only need attention and accuracy. It is important to correctly alternate diagonal folds as a “mountain” and vertical folds as a “valley” so that everything, in the literal sense of the word, works out.

For the lampshade you will need two A4 sheets glued together with the short sides. You can take a larger format, but with the same proportions. Recommended paper weight is 160 g/m². Such indicators, for example, have va. It is not necessary to make a lampshade only from white paper; thick colored wallpaper, craft paper, and so on will do.

The folded sheet looks like this:

This diagram will allow you to assemble a rounded “squat” lampshade, reminiscent of a barrel in shape:

First you need to make all the folds along the black lines, then along the red ones and finish the work with blue ones. Then the paper folds naturally.

For a tall, narrow lampshade, the diagram lines are positioned similarly, but at a different angle:

To prevent the lampshade from becoming deformed during use, it is advisable to sew the upper edge with transparent fishing line. The paper is also coated with several layers of varnish, protecting it from moisture and dust. The result is a stunning art object:

In conclusion, an origami airplane from childhood. Its design is borrowed from a Japanese paper dart that was played about 600 years ago.
